Hi guys, I'm making a 'useful tools' mod, but I'm stumped on how to create a coin flip script that uses the GetRandomPercent to generate a number between 1 and 2. If it lands on 1, it shows a message saying it landed on heads, and if it lands on 2, it shows a message that it landed on tales. The wiki only showed how to make a dice and some other stuff I didn't understand. If someone could write a script for me (or even better write out a tutorial on how to do it step by step) that'd be great!

Thanks

short myNumBegin OnActivate   set myNum to GetRandomPercent   if myNum < 50      MessageBox "You got a 1"   else      MessageBox "You got a 2"   endifEnd

Granted, Messagebox is not a FO3 command, but you get the idea.

If you're interested, there's a thread over in the New Vegas GECK forum about how http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/GetRandomPercent works (it works the same in New Vegas and Fallout 3) - http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1169495-how-getrandompercent-works/

Yeah I know messagebox doesn't work on Fallout, but it's easy to just swap it for a 'ShowMessage' command. Thanks for the script. :goodjob:





I'm pretty sure this could help in writing future scripts. Thanks. :thumbsup:

Sorry, but I've attatched the script to it and everything, but when I activate it in my Pipboy nothing happens. Do I have to drop it to use it because I don't want that to have to happen.

Look through the http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/Begin blocks. Depending on what type of object you made will depend on which begin block you will use.
OnActivate is for world objects. OnEqup would be for clothing or armor type objects.
